From: "Dexter N. Muir" <D.N.Muir@massey.ac.nz> Subject: Re: Lady Eleanor (Lindisfarne) This is entirely from memory, and I never could get some of the words: Lady Eleanor Lindisfarne Tuning: Standard EADGBE Playing: Bar chords, E shapes: Am = Am bar 7 C = D bar 3 D = D bar 5 Intro: alternating Am, Am Verse 1:
AmNasty fey magicians sit in Amlotus on the floor AmBelly-dancing beauties and their Ampower-laden swords AmHide my didn't Amthink it could be much more C D Am . . . <- fade When in walked with the Lady Eleanor.
Verse 2: She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread, I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead, Chorus:
But it's Cal - Dright, Lady EleaAmnor, CAl - Dright, Lady EleaAmnor, CI'm alDright where I Dam. Asus4 D Asus4
[ a bit of tab (bass-line): e--------|--------| B--------|--------| G--------|--------| D----2---|----9---| A---2-2--|---9-9--| E0-----0-|7-----7-| slide tab ends] Verse 3: She gazed with a love and beauty, like a mother to a son, Like live and die, and see and be, and all rolled into one, Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones, The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home, Chorus, [tab]. Verse 4: Then creeping on towards me with their lips with tongues of fire A host of golden demons screaming "Lust!" and "Base desire!" And when it seemed for certain that their screams could get no higher I heard a voice above the rest, screaming "You're a liar!" But it's alright, Lady Eleanor, Alright, Lady Eleanor, C D [D(bar7) Am] <- ??? I'm alright here in your arms.... I suspect those last chords are something entirely different, but can't remember much except they _are_ simple chords. If anyone can supply the missing words or correct any others I have wrong, PLEASE Email me. It's an old favourite, and I'd like to get it right! If memory serves me, Alan Hull wrote it. p.s. I love the mandolin work, too, but the tab for that would be a bit beyond me... Dexter N.
